| Three days of missing time is normal, it's called being on Puna Time. The implant is probably a centipede bite (or sting), it should go away in about... three days. Wait, three days of missing time, three days for a centipede implant to go away. I better check a little more into this and get back to you... |

| "That beam of light is a minimum of a foot wide" How do you know this? Couldn't it just as well be less than 1 inch? |

| I definately don't "know" anything about these photos, that's I why asked for opinions. I've never seen anything like it. The apparent "light" appears to be right next to a tree that I "know" is at least a foot wide. Thanks to input from the nice people here, I see that it's possible that the apparent light or possible reflection could be off of a tiny spider web. However no spider webs are anywhere to be found. Are you going to start dissecting every word now? Geez. |

| Nitpicking over specific individual words and/or spelling is what Punaweb is all about. Substantive issues are for losers. Alternative access road? Pfft. "Colour." |

quote: If you follow the timeline, you can watch the "light" slowly moving across, in front of the tree. It most likely was a spider web, caught in the moon's light and/or your infrared LED's and slight breezes made it jump around some. Going out in the last day or so to find it, it way late. |

| I don't think that was a light beam if it was you would not be able to see any of the background. In these images with the white line I could still see the tree and the fence in some cases. If it was a light the background would appear black as a light directly in front of the would "blow out" the rest of the image especially at night. Could it be a branch or the leg of a bird? Maybe a bird is sitting on the camera, just kidding, haha. |

| I'm not nitpicking, I'm pointing out that in a 2D picture what you thought was "minimum" 1 ft could in actual fact be 1 inch. Sorry for trying to help. Oh no, I've single-handedly ruined this whole thread. |

| In most of the images where the streak is visible, it does completely blow out the image. You can see the tree in some, but it seems to depend on the angle at which it hits the lens. Also, it floods the scene when it's not quite in the frame, as in the two shots at 12:30. That's what makes me think it's a light beam. My green laser pointer can go at least 1/4 mile and is still very narrow at that distance. Since it's completely washed out it will show as white regardless of the true color. The only other thing I can think of is something waving right in front of it that's reflecting the IR flash directly back into the lens. But it would have to be very highly reflective, and it seems odd that it would only be that night. Maybe a branch or leaf? |
